Computer Memory, Collective Memory: Recovering History through Chilean Computing
October-December 2005 (vol. 27 no. 4)
pp. 104, 102-103
This essay argues that computer histories contribute to collective memory and are especially important in nations where knowledge of the past has been erased or suppressed. Computer histories also can enrich national understandings of the past and contribute to ongoing debates over history and its relation to the present.
